[Klone-users] Problems in registering (installing) Klone in Windows XP embedded

[Stefano Barbato]

Hello Alvaro,

KLone register itself with the SC Manager using standard APIs (see  
InstallService() in src/kloned/entry.c).

I'm pretty sure that standard APIs write services data in the registry  
so if the registry is preserved on power cycles Windows should  
"remember" the registration.

Is the registry also stored in the RAM overlay through the FBWF  
driver? If the answer is yes you would probably register KLone before  
creating the Windows boot image or run "kloned -i" every time you  
startup you machine.  The same applies to any other service you want  
to be persistant on reboots.

Bye,
stefano
